Egypt is the safety valve for the Palestinian cause against the displacement plan

Over the past decades, the foreign policy of the Arab Republic of Egypt has been driven by development and renewal, especially in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Egyptian-Israeli relations were one of the decisive factors in the entire Middle East policy, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century the foreign policy of the Arab Republic of Egypt was and still is multi-directional and very active in addition to resolving the problem of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as the "country of the pyramids" pays great attention to the situation adjacent to its borders, as Cairo is interested in moderate regimes that do not participate in regional conflicts. In this regard, there is no doubt that Cairo's relations are fine with its Arab neighbors in the African continent - Libya and Sudan.

Egypt's foreign policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been to emphasize that the core of the problem is the occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli forces, violence against civilians, the construction of settlements in the occupied territories, and many other illegal actions by the Israeli government. The Egyptian position calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the 1967 borders and the implementation of the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to establish their state. This reflects Egypt's position on the Palestinian issue, and its interest in reaching a political solution to this problem, which gives hope that Arab-Israeli relations will move from a world of confrontation to a world of mutual understanding, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation in the future.

This is what Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi stressed in all his meetings and statements: “Establishing an independent Palestinian state is the best way to ensure the security of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples,” and that the Palestinians will never accept the presence of Israeli forces on their lands to protect Jewish settlements.

On the Palestinian track related to bridging the rift between the Palestinian brothers, Egypt has made great efforts to be the “sole effective mediator” in the dilemma of the internal Palestinian division, and has sponsored and held reconciliation conferences between the various Palestinian movements more than once in Cairo, and is still making efforts to reach a point of agreement that brings together the Fatah and Hamas movements in agreeing on a joint committee to manage the affairs of the Strip after the war on Gaza has stopped.

In light of the war of extermination and the Egyptian position, both at the official and popular levels, constantly confirms its position rejecting any attempts to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip, and this rejection reflects the role of Egypt and the Egyptian leadership, headed by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, for the rights of the Palestinians.

The displacement of the population is considered a violation of human rights, which leads to the exacerbation of humanitarian crises. Egypt realizes that any process of displacing Palestinians ends the Palestinian cause and deprives the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state.

On the other hand, Egypt considers any attempts to displace Palestinians will lead to instability in the entire region and create new crises.

Finally, the Egyptian diplomatic and humanitarian role in the Gaza Strip is pivotal in enhancing regional stability and alleviating human suffering by providing urgent aid to the people of Gaza, by opening the crossings, facilitating the entry of food and medical aid, and also continuing its efforts with international and Arab organizations to ensure the effective and rapid arrival of aid, as Egypt was and still is the safety valve for the Palestinian cause and the protective shield against the plan to displace the Palestinian people, especially since it was the main and effective player in mediation efforts between the Palestinians, and efforts to support the Palestinians in establishing their independent state, which reflects its deep commitment to the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people.
